With you 100%, but I don't think they will waste it.  If I had to wager, I would guess their strategy would be to start them splitting carries almost evenly, with a gradual increase of Mixon as the season goes on.  They need Mixon to be fresh for the end of the season run, so it will likely be running back by committee in the early going and even more so once Gio is up to speed.  That being said, I don't think they would stick with Hill for long if he is averaging something like 2.9 ypc, and Mixon is over 4.
